Man United 'monitor Moussa Diaby's situation at Bayer Leverkusen' in a bid to fend off Newcastle interest... but the move 'depends on the club's ownership' with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim fighting for the keys to Old Trafford

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby in an effort to lure the Frenchman to Old Trafford this summer, according to reports.

Diaby has been Xabi Alonso's star man with 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this campaign and has riveted the gaze of several top-flight European clubs ahead of the summer window.

Bayer reportedly want upwards of £70million for the French international, whose contract expires in 2025.

Newcastle are also interested in Diaby following their successful campaign in the Premier League, having secured Champions League qualification for next season under Eddie Howe.
